Game information

The Jaguars' defense effectively limited the Colts' offense to 66 yards and 3 first downs in the first half. However, the Jaguars could not capitalize on this strong defensive performance due to several errors. Leftwich threw an interception on their second possession while deep in Colts territory. Following that, they were forced to punt, and Colts' returner Terrence Wilkins ran back 82 yards, which resulted in the only points for the Colts in the first half. Additionally, on their final drive before halftime, Josh Scobee missed a 24–yard field goal attempt and later failed to convert a 49–yard field goal near the end of the third quarter. Ultimately, the Colts managed to score two touchdowns, securing a 21–14 victory. Manning achieved a completion rate of under 50 percent, connecting on 14 out of 31 attempts for a total of 219 yards.[1]
